The
Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA) is pleased to be the new web-based
home of the Historic Bottle Website. Since its initial posting in
early 2005, the Historic Bottle Website has become a very useful
resource to the historical archaeology community. This makes its location
on the SHA website in the new "Research Resources" section particularly
appropriate. The website's public educational emphasis helps the SHA
to meet one of its goals: "...to promote scholarly research and the
dissemination of knowledge concerning historical archaeology."

The
BLM benefits by forging a stronger connection to one of the leading
professional organizations within the archaeological world. The move
also helps the Department of Interior (DOI) meet recent DOI Inspector
General Evaluation Report (#2003-I-0051) recommendations to simplify their web presence, increase security,
and control content, while still
maintaining a recognizable connection to the Historic Bottle Website.

For book marking the new location, the
Historic Bottle Website home page is located at the following URL:
